The First Empress - Chapter 52

Chapter 52 Relevant Investigations
The storm had just passed, and everything was dark.

Linglong looked at Li Chongyuan again at night. Li Chongyuan was even more different than in the day. Her cheeks were slightly sunken and she looked listless. Linglong hurriedly comforted, “Sister, what did you say? Look at you. If this continues, not to mention tracking down the real murderer, even you will be ill. Wouldn’t it be faster for a true relative to hurt the enemy?”

Li Chongyuan seemed to have just returned from the desert. His face was full of sand and exhaustion, and there was an unconcealable coldness, Her hands shrank. Linglong held Li Chongyuan’s hand. ‘”I’ve already heard that the Empress and the Emperor are both very angry. This matter is undoubtedly a big matter. Everyone will be interrogated. It is said that the Empress will ask everyone from tomorrow onwards. Don’t be like this. Otherwise, when the real murderer is not found yet, what should we do if something happens that you are also sick?”

Linglong’s eyes shone brightly. Li Chongyuan naturally knew that there was something in Linglong’s words that she needed to experience. She was also a smart person. After thinking for a while, she understood. Linglong sighed, “My sister still needs to recover well. Only the Emperor is the most important in the palace. In my opinion, the Emperor is the only one who can deal with this matter badly. Don’t be like this anymore.”

Li Chongyuan coughed slightly. “Cough cough, it’s not that my sister has the heart to act so sad. She really has a weak body. Otherwise, how could my sister just sit there and wait for death like this? Anyway, I have to go to the water corridor to see what’s going on.”

Linglong looked at Li Chongyuan. Under the light of the candle, her face revealed a determined halo. There were some things that she probably didn’t experience, so she couldn’t feel the same way. Therefore, Linglong could only comfort her. There was no other way but to comfort her.

After walking out of Li Chongyuan’s palace, Qin’er helped Linglong put on her cloak and handed over the stove. Only then did she open the green umbrella and walk into the moonlight ground. The moonlight on the ground was like a lake reflected in the rippling clouds. The two of them walked into the snow.

“Little Lord, you still saw the clue, didn’t you?” Qin’er asked leisurely.

Linglong turned around and looked at the scarlet palace wall behind her. Then she sighed faintly, “This matter is not that simple. I still don’t dare to say who did this unscrupulous thing behind the scenes.”

‘”Judging from Little Lord Chong Yuan’s appearance, it seems like there is only a wisp of fragrance left. After all, being sad is more than dying in your heart. Right now, it may sink forever. Not only is there no child left, perhaps even the father of the child will slowly disappear into thin air.” At this point, Qin’er also sighed. Linglong sneered, “Even you can see that this is indeed a double kill. It can be attacked and retreated. Who said that women are inferior to men? Now it seems that women really don’t let their brows stand on end.”

Although Linglong was sad, her mouth was still filled with nonchalant jokes. The two of them walked to the Wei Yang Bridge. Linglong suddenly remembered something and took two steps back. She said, “Let’s go to Qian He Palace.”

Qin’er asked puzzledly, “Is this really going to Qian He Palace in the middle of the night?”

Linglong nodded. “Someone will naturally calm down today. Let’s go and take a look. Don’t miss the chance.”

Thus, the two of them crossed the Wei Yang Bridge and entered Qian He Palace. Sure enough, the candles in Qian He Palace shone brightly, shaking the charming flowing light at the bottom of Zhu Hu Jin. Linglong handed the stove to Qin’er. Qin’er hurriedly went to the side to change the charcoal fire. Xiang Linglong had already taken off her cloak and walked into Qian He Palace.

Faintly hearing the voices of Huiqi and the Empress, Linglong wanted to go in but after thinking for a while, she stopped. Her flowerpot shoes knocked on the ground and stopped abruptly. Eunuch Lu saw Linglong coming over to report it, but Linglong waved her hand and gave up.

Linglong stood in the tuyere and listened. Huiqi’s solemn voice was like a storm. “Why did something like this happen? My heart hurts so much. Help me investigate properly. Don’t let it go.”

The Empress’s voice was so loud that it sounded like a jade pearl falling down from a jade pearl. “This concubine will naturally live up to His Majesty’s grace. Now that Concubine De and Bu Jieyu are helping this palace, there’s probably nothing that I can’t find out.”

Huiqi seemed to have remembered something. After pondering for a while, he sighed, “Bu Jieyu is also good, but Jieyu himself is also obedient. In my opinion, all of you are too weak. It is inevitable that you will show mercy! This kind of thing should be made an example of!”

‘”Of course I won’t be soft-hearted. I’ve been thinking about it over and over again–” The Empress seemed to have considered it for a moment before she said in a low voice, “It’s just Bu Jieyu …”

“This concubine naturally won’t be weak. Otherwise, this concubine won’t plead for the people’s orders!” Linglong used her hand to gather the broken hair on her temples and slowly walked in.

Eunuch Lu walked in embarrassedly and bowed, “Little Lord Jie Yu has just arrived. She originally wanted to spread the news, but just now, the timing was unlucky, so this servant slapped her lips.” As he spoke, he slapped his cheek a few times.

Huiqi waved his hand. “Forget it, it’s not a big deal. If there’s no communication, then there’s no communication, right? Furthermore, I’ve already said that Jieyu will cooperate in this matter. It’s not blasphemy.”

Ji Zhu Hua also smiled at Xi Ning. “It seems that Bu Jie Yu’s heart is burning with anxiety, and she should also calm down a bit. Don’t hurt her body. Let’s discuss this matter from a long perspective. Tomorrow, this palace will send messages one by one. Sister Jie Yu and Concubine De will have to be careful when the time comes,” Ji Zhu Hua said with a smile on Xi Ning’s face.

Linglong nodded. She realized that she was a little rude just now. She was suspected of eavesdropping. She was also hesitant and didn’t know what to say. Hui Qi looked at Linglong and said, “You have to take good care of your body. You came over late at night and dressed so thin. If you also have a headache, wouldn’t there be no one to help Li Chongyuan?”

Hui Qi’s voice contained a trace of concern, emotion, and care. Linglong blushed unconsciously. Ji Zhuhua did not seem surprised. “This matter is only dependent on the Emperor’s decree. You and I must work together.”

Linglong nodded and said, “Since there will be such an arrangement tomorrow, then this concubine will go back, so that she can be a charcoal bag with divine eyes like lightning tomorrow.”

Huiqi laughed loudly, “You are not afraid of being like a great general in the face of danger. Unfortunately, you are a girl. Otherwise, I would have to compete with you.”

Hui Qi only smiled carelessly. Linglong’s heart tightened slightly. Although this sentence did not mean anything, she still felt an inexplicable horror when she recalled it.

The next day, just like the previous plan, there were Ji Zhuhua, De Fei, and Linglong in Kun De Palace, and they had the intention of having a trial in a little bit of a hall.

Xudan Misty Cloud Roll, Lie Jing entered the East Pavilion

The Earth Dragon in the warmth pavilion was gushing hot air, but everyone didn’t feel warm. Instead, an indescribable chill surrounded everyone. The interrogation had been going on all morning, but there was no progress.

Ji Zhu Hua’s phoenix eyes slightly raised as she sat upright. “You mean, you’re in the fifth row? How did I remember you in the sixth row? Tell me clearly.”

Ning Yanliu was shocked and hurriedly defended herself. “This concubine is naturally in the fifth row. This concubine is not Sun Wukong. How could she have such a long arm? Furthermore, this concubine has no grudges with Li Chongyuan’s sister.”

Ji Zhuhua rubbed his painful temples. It felt like half a year in the morning, Looking at the playful concubines in the courtyard, she felt that these people were heartless and heartless. It seemed that the more ordinary people were, the happier they would be. When they reached the pyramid of supreme power, they had no choice but to think twice about what they wanted to do. They had no choice but to act according to their abilities. She even envied these people a little.

Seeing that the Empress was feeling a little uncomfortable, Linglong hurriedly went to the front and pressed her temple with her hand. “Is the Empress feeling better? This is just the beginning.”

Ji Zhu Hua was also a little embarrassed. He had thought that he would be able to raise his spirits today, but he didn’t expect that he would decline again in a short while. He couldn’t even compare to Consort De, who had been bedridden for a long time. He couldn’t help but frown.

“I slept too late last night. I probably didn’t have enough strength. I’ll rest in the carriage over there for a while. Concubine De, sit here and let Bu Jieyu sit in your seat. Let’s change it.” Imperial Concubine De stood up at this point and walked over in disapproval.

Linglong was secretly shocked. This position was not something she could arrogate. She hurriedly said, “This concubine doesn’t need to. It’s better to stand.”

The Empress was slightly dissatisfied, “This palace wants you to sit. Anyway, this is Kun De Palace. Just treat it as your Yunluan Palace. Don’t be embarrassed and lose your meaning today.”

Linglong gritted her teeth and sat in the seat where Concubine De had just sat.

The Empress retreated to the seat she had just sat in. As a result, the roles of the three of them were exchanged. The power was given to Concubine De, and the support was given to Linglong and Ji Zhuhua.

Just as the Empress sat down and Linglong sat down, Lan Sou Yu walked in.

She looked at the Empress and said, “Good luck.” Then, she turned around and bowed to Concubine De and Linglong as usual. Linglong wrapped her sleeves and looked at the Empress. Although the Empress did not say anything, according to the Empress’ intention, she had Linglong speak. Linglong nodded her head and said solemnly, “Lan Zhaoyuan, you were in the third row that day. Did you see anyone doing harm behind you?”

Lan Shuyu did not intend to pay any attention to Bu Linglong. After all, it was easy for her to ascend to the heavens in one step. She did not like Linglong. She looked at Concubine De and said, “Slow down, just look ahead.”

After he finished speaking, he waved his sleeves and said, “Your Majesty, don’t pretend to be foolish. Who are you acting for? Why don’t you arrest the culprit so that others won’t be uneasy?”

The Empress’s phoenix eyes slightly widened, “Tell me, what exactly did you see?”

“I’m sorry, I didn’t see anything unusual.” After Lan Shuyu finished speaking, her gaze landed coldly on Linglong. Linglong stood up and said, “You have something to say. Why did you suddenly stop? Is there something that you can’t breathe out quickly?”

“This concubine really didn’t see anything. Since everyone wants to protect themselves, there’s no need for this concubine to be the first to shoot.” Everything was clever. Imperial Concubine De disliked this kind of person the most. She waved her hand and said, “You go down.”

Lan Shuyu walked to Linglong’s side and said, “Sister Bu is so carefree. She is also in charge now. There is no need for anyone to remind her of what she should do. Take advantage of the current power to do things properly. Sister is very grateful.”

Linglong said coldly, “Naturally, I won’t disappoint you!”

The fragrant breeze blew and Lan Sou Yu left. She only heard Zhu Yu Lin Lang and Imperial Concubine He Shu enter. Imperial Concubine He Shu merely bowed her knees courteously. “Greetings, Empress, Imperial Concubine De, Little Lord Bu.”

She deliberately said the word “Little Lord” with endless aftertaste. Linglong didn’t care much. She looked at the Empress. Ji Zhu Hua Zhiyi didn’t seem to be in good spirits. Concubine De was taking medicine. Seemingly alone, he asked, “Do you have anything to say?”

“Of course I have something to say. The three of you are in three halls for a trial, so it’s time for someone to automatically draw a bet without waiting for an explanation. Therefore, concubines naturally have to defend themselves.” He Shu looked at the three in horror before slowly saying, “Concubine stood in the second row that day, but Concubine was not the one who attacked. The Empress knew best that Concubine had no reason to do so.”

Ji Zhuhua pointed at Concubine Heshu and said, “Speak well for me here. This place is no better than your own palace.”

Imperial Concubine He Shu glanced at him and said, “It’s Concubine Bai’s eyes. Concubine Bai only said one sentence and did not extend her hand.”

“Let’s go down!” When Linglong saw how He Shufei and the Empress were facing each other, she hurriedly let He Shufei go down. He Shufei seemed to have just discovered Linglong and used her hand to cover her lips as she walked to Linglong’s side. “Isn’t this Bu Jieyu?” Sure enough, I’m not afraid of the officials, I’m afraid I’ll just care. The one who has received grace now is actually like that clay Bodhisattva who doesn’t eat the fireworks of the mortal world. It’s really unexpected. ”

No matter how good a person’s temperament was, they could not remain calm. Linglong lowered her cold eyes, “Imperial Concubine Shu, there are many unexpected things, and it’s not just this one thing.”
